If we get worked up over every ill-considered off-the-cuff remark from a stressed-out pol (which characterizes <EM>both</EM> of them, I think), we'll have no energy left for anything that actually matters.<BR/><BR/>As to the rest --- I was deliberate about linking to Ezra, who gave less context than you, and struck me as going farther overboard.

But my characterization of your position is easily as fair as your characterization of mine.)Patrick Nielsen Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675127319737095559noreply@blogger.com
